I am a senior undergraduate student pursuingÌýa mechanicalÌýengineering degree. I was selected for the Discovery Learning Apprenticeship (DLA) for Fall 2017 and Spring 2018. I currently work on the thermal properties measurements for air-film insulation in Dr. Ronggui Yang's Laboratory. I have been engaged in sensor selections for both temperature and heatÌýflux,Ìýand developing a LabVIEW program to test and monitorÌýthe experiments.
During Summer 2017, I worked in two laboratories. The first was the thermal-Fluids laboratory with Dr. Julie Steinbrenner. I independently suggested, implemented and tested a method by which the airflow of an air conditioningÌýunit could be measured accurately.
The second laboratory was the development of novel laser diagnostics for high-pressure combustion laboratory with Dr. Gaetano Magnotti at King Abdullah University for Science and Technology (KAUST). I mainly designed a LabVIEW program to control four-laser optics.
Outside the university, I enjoy my free time by playing soccer, playing video games or hiking. In addition, I like to travel to different states in the US with myÌýwife, Zainab Al Alwan, before we go back to Saudi Arabia.Ìý
After I graduate from ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ, I will be doing my MS degree in Mechanical Engineering at KAUST.
